We need to support the LQS or they will go out of business. Unfortunately, the ones near me have closed, and now that we have moved I haven't located one locally. When a friend of mine and I had more time (and money) we went to several quilt shops further away (she doesn't mind driving) and at several we found great fabric and great sale fabric. One in particular, had a bin of fabric for $2.99/yd - same fabric as on the sales floor, but they were just getting rid of it to make room for more fabric. Besides the bargains, I found some fabric that called my name, and the owners are people who work there are a wealth of information, and always helpful.
